Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 4652867, member: 71"] That has nothing to do with the sustainability of a hybrid conference. I'll go so far as to say that the scenario that you proposed reinforces the limited shelf life of a hybrid conference. While the product may have been great for the fans during the years the 16 schools were together, there wasn't one member school that wasn't looking forward to the day that situation ended. All eight football members (and ND) were looking to move to a better home (some succeeded). The C-7 were biding there time, waiting for the day they would no longer need to cater to football members but were also horrified when they found out ND had discussions with some football members about the possibility of remaining with them (as a non football member) post split, which would have screwed the C-7 over royally.
